An article that celebrated a 2.6% gain as the stock rallying, apparently ignoring the bloodbath of the previous days. It talked about outperforming Apple for that trading day.
I wanted to know what kind of idiot would write such an irresponsible article and then I read this at the end:
"Editor's Note: This story was auto-generated by Automated Insights using data from Dow Jones and FactSet"

So that's the kind of wisdom brought to DU to get other people into this mess.
